Maximiliaan I van Habsburg 1586 - 1587

This engraving, "Maximiliaan I van Habsburg", was created by Hendrick Goltzius in 1586-1587. The artwork, housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor, standing in full regalia, holding a sword and displaying his coat of arms. Goltzius was known for his mastery of line and detail, evident in the intricate depiction of the Emperor's armor and fur-lined robes. The engraving is a fine example of Goltzius's ability to capture the grandeur and power of his subjects, contributing to the art of portraiture in the late 16th century.
